49TH CONGRESS.
Wednesday, Jan. 10.


SENATE-Mr. Edmunds introduced a bill
on the fisheries question, accompanied by
an incisive report from the committee on
foreign relations, which was ordered
printed, with view of immediate con-
sideration. The bill to expediate the COM
pletion of the Charleston jetties, appropri-
ating $500, 900 Immediately available passed
also the bill for Mississippi river bridge at
st. Louis, with two 500 feet spans and one
800 feet span. Senator Allison, Plumb and
German were appointed conference com
mittee on the army appropriation bill. An
executive session was held.
HoUsE-Such progress was made on the
interstate commerce bill that vote will be
taken on the Goth. The opposition devel-
oped is slight and it will be surprise if
there are 50 many as 50 negative votes. Mr..
Nelson, Mimi. favored the measure, and
said that by its passage one CT the powerful
weapons for extortion and injustice would
be completely sheathed. Mr.. Guenther,
Wis, said the passage of the bill would in
spire the people with renewed confidence
in their representatives in congress- Year
after year the railroad magnates, through
agents and lobbyists, had defeated all inter
state commerce legislation, but the day of
Judgment was about to arrive. The passage
the public had achieved for many years,
Mr.. Weaver, Iowa, opposed the bill. He
said its theory was to do as little for the
people as possible and to render those sec
tons which related to the rights of the peo-
pie as obscure and unintelligible as human
been demanding the Reagan bill and they
had been fed on ashes. They had asked for
an egg, and were given scorpion which
would sting them to death. ~

peace measure, while not surrendering any
thing that appertains to the rights of the
